    Or, like, don’t look at people’s genitals in the bathrooms. This is not a real problem. Public restrooms have managed to create privacy for as long as we’ve had public restrooms. Trans people aren’t a new phenomenon, they’re just the latest conservative scapegoat.

    This is not a real problem.

      I have gone 30 something years of memory and the ONLY time I have ever seen genitalia in the bathroom was 1 intentional flasher in high school gym and 1 kid when we were in 1st grade who pulled his pants to his ankles by the sink and walked to the urinal on the opposite wall.

      Never in my adult life has it occurred. If you keep your eyes away from genital height, you don’t have anything to worry about…

      So if you’re having a problem with seeing people’s junk in the bathroom, maybe stop staring?

        And just to be clear, no incidents related to creeps or pedophiles would be prevented by restricting trans people from using public facilities. Creeps are already breaking the law peeking at people. Creating a law just gives creeps a reason to bully trans individuals when they have to pee.

      Not in the US. Most have stalls with walls that start about a foot off of the floor and end around 6’ up.

          Yeah this would never work in the States since there is no dime sized gap where you can lock eyes with other patrons.

    Looks a bit narrow but still preferable to the american bathroom stall.

    In the UK, this is just what toilets look like.

    Edit: and there’s still a large opposition to trans people using toilets here

      Where is it though? I don’t know anyone IRL that cares. And yet online apparently its the biggest issue in the world. Does make you wonder if they are either all bots or never leave the house.

          I think the worst I can think of is people that just don’t really understand, think its strange/confusing. But no one that is hostile to your existence. They will probably use the wrong terms, but they don’t really mean to offend and even if they think it odd, they won’t stop you from using a fucking toilet.

          I suppose most people I know voted green though so it might be a sampling bias.

            The UK is experiencing a surge in hate and violence against trans people, so it’s for sure sampling bias. From what I’ve heard from others from your country it varies by city a lot how accepting people are

        I wish I didn’t know anymore IRL that cares about it. In laws and an aunt are right wing. I try not to be around them as they say heinous things when they get drunk. And they’re always drinking.

    American here. Aren’t you worried about suffocating in that stall, without 1.5ft [50cm] gaps between the floor and the wall, and 1in [25mm] gaps around the door for proper ventilation?

      It would probably be better to do repair work at home, or a workshop. Doing it in a bathroom stall you are likely to drop a small piece down the toilet.

    I’m curious about the smell of these bathrooms compared to the ones with openings around the stall. The open stall allows better air flow, but that also means you’re getting a blend of everyone’s stench. These closed stalls seem like they’d hold a shit smell a lot longer, but you don’t have to share the smells with others.

      I never notice a smell unless it’s like someone literally pissed on the floor or something, which is not super common around here. I bet you they’re probably ventilated.

        I used to draw ventilation for businesses! So I dunno what the requirements are for public bathrooms like these, but bathroom stalls are generally required to be well ventilated. We usually always placed an extract vent right above the toilet
